I never realized it until later in life, but I was always the 'go to girl' in High School whenever anyone had a problem. I never felt that wise, but realize now that I have alot of miles under my belt. Death of a parent at a young age. Alcohol abuse in my family of origin, along with emotional and physical abuse. Navy wife (which will teach you a ton of things you never thought the need to know), mother of a childhood cancer survivor. Moving away from small town Ohio to a bigger broader world of people and places. <br />I do have alot to offer in way of things I know, have done, have tried and experienced. This is a good thing for a psychologist, because I think you have to be able to empathize and I could easily do that in most situations.<br />So, why don't I go back to college? Because I'm not a good book learner. I transpose numbers (which my bank hates). I'm a hands on learner. I hardly made it through high school, except for the History teacher who had enough compassion to take me in the hall and ask me the test questions outloud and let me answer them to pass. So, I feel like I would be wasting my time, money and energy to go listen to someone tell me about the very things I have already experienced and give me a piece of paper that says I'm allowed to offer advice. I'm not for one minute knocking the people that go to college and become successful. College is a wonderful thing if you have the time and patience to sit and do all the work. I'd become frustrated with myself for not being able to pass the tests, even though I knew the material required.<br /><br />So, I'm not a book smart person. They use to call it street smart...I call it experience of life. <br />I'm okay with being the 'go to girl' for those in need. Plus I don't charge an hourly fee and there's no insurance forms to fill out.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07346856919210094288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319577559301208538.post-79926808177562135432010-01-09T14:15:41.455-08:002010-01-09T14:15:41.455-08:00thank you for these prompts Susan. i'm approa...thank you for these prompts Susan. i'm approaching my journal a different way...I'm doing a 2 page background and then adding each daily prompt to the spread somewhere...hope it works out like I've imagined it too... <br /><br />Here's the link to the 1st few days -<br /><a href="http://www.tallyscrapper.com/scrapbook_gallery_view.php?layout_id=54874&view_page=1" rel="nofollow">Week 1</a><br /><br />and here's the link to Monday - today's prompts.
